The Philadelphia Eagles have eight picks remaining in the NFL Draft after acquiring Darius Slay and general manager Howie Roseman has made it clear that he wants to be aggressive in adding young, athletic playmakers to his roster.
Roseman has a reputation for excelling in free agency and the salary cap dealings but doesn’t have the greatest reputation for judging talent in the NFL draft.
With the Eagles scheduled to pick at No. 21 overall in the first round, here are four players Roseman should avoid while focusing on landing a game-changer with the pick.

1. Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
Higgins had a heralded collegiate career and could become a star in the NFL, but the Eagles need speed on the outside and a dynamic playmaker, something the former Clemson All-American lacks at times.
Higgins will make the contested catch and offers a huge frame in the red zone. With Howie Roseman needing to hit on wide receivers in the draft, the Eagles need the sure thing, and Higgins offers some pause.
